Flash :: Test The Movie From The Working File?
Jul 12, 2011
So I've been having an issue with a SWF not work on a page and this is what I can seem to come up with after hours of messing with Dreamweaver and Flash trying to understand why it won't work. When i test the movie from the working Flash file, it works no problem.Something is going wrong when I export or publish the movie and it no longer works. Is this something that happens? .this site needs to go up in the next day or so and the SWF was working and then stopped working and I'm honestly not a Flash gal so I really have no business messing with it, but it was a specific request.

I am starting to develop an AIR application. After doing some code, I am able to test the AIR file from within Flash CS4. I then close the Movie Test and made some additional changes. I performed another Test Movie however nothing happens. If I restart Flash CS4, I am able to test the AIR file but not a second time.
Environment:
OS: Windows 7 64
Flash CS4
4GB RAM
I have performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Reset the configuration folder -> same issue
2. Reset the Registry Key -> same issue
3. Tested on Windows XP 32 (Same machine [dual-boot]) -> works
4. Tested with a brand new FLA AIR file -> same issue
5. If I convert the AIR file to a standard AS3 document -> able to to test with no issue

I created a graphic on one layer in my timeline in FLASH CS4 and then added a new layer above it with text to create a zoom out effect. When I click Control>Play the movie plays fine with the text zooming out as it is supposed to but when I click Control>Test Movie the movie shows white with the text constantly visible and the graphic flickering on (visible) and off (not visible) so fast that it's barely visible.

I've encountered a strange problem with a game I'm making with flash cs4, as3. When I test my game with ctrl+enter within flash, it works fine, but if I try it again, it doesn't load at all. Basically, I open flash, test movie, it works, do absolutely nothing except close the test movie window and test it again, and it doesn't work.
I put a trace as the first line in the constructor function of my document class and that doesn't output anything on the second test. If I close flash and reopen it, it does the same thing; the game will work fine the first test and any tests after do nothing. When it doesn't work, no errors are reported whatsoever.

The only thing I get is a swf file.I don't really know why Flash CS 5.5 refuses to generate my project's apk file since I've never encountered a problem like this before. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? My player is set to AIR for Android,I have my certificate,I don't get any errors, and debugging on my device via USB works flawlessly.

I need to embed a SWF on a website. The swf is this interactive map at [URL](where it says select your region). So I found the SWF file and I tried to embed it on a test page, and its not working correctly. [URL] I don't know anything about flash, but the code I used was this:
Code:
<embed src=" [URL] The map is showing up, but the continents regions are not click-able, and the drop down text is not showing the continents.

My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.

I have a website that has a SWF embbeded on it with SWFObject. This SWF file has 1,5 MB. I would like to test if website (Lightppd) will be alive if 600 users per hour will try to open it. It will be approx. 900 MB / hour of transfer.
So I have 2 questions in one:
1) Does ab (Apache Bench) test handle SWFObject and gets SWF file while testing too?
2) If 1) is false how to load test my website with SWF file embedded properly?

I am creating a 4 frame application demo which stops on the first frame and lets the user navigate to other frames using buttons. I've done something very similar before and didn't have this problem. Now with this new project I've created the pages in photoshop and imported them onto the stage. The dimensions are 1024/768 px. When I go to Control -> Test Movie -> In Flash professional. The window pops up very small , but the page looks nomal size so i get the top left portion of the design. Then when i expand the window, instead of seeing the rest of the design the desing floats to the bottom right as I pull the window open leaving all this white space around the top and left margins.

The first test of any movie, after opening the Flash program (CS5 Pro) will work as expected. However, every test after thereafter will ignore the ActionScript completely and play on a continuos loop. After attempting to debug one of these instances, Flash gives me the error that the movie cannot be debugged because the .SWF contains no ActionScript.(I've tested several movies, with AS as basic as a single stop command and nothing else. I've tested the files on another machine. I've reinstalled Flash. Closing Flash and opening it again provides one more "fresh" test that works as expected. Finally this has not always been the case, the program was working fine for a few months (so I don't think the install CD is corrupt).

I have been working on my final project for class all week. Suddenly tonight once I have finally worked through so many bugs in transfering things into the thing, I can't get the "Test Movie" option to work to view anything. I even tried to view just the scene. It keeps making these flashes and then basically stays where it's at

I want to "Test Movie" to get a feel for what my animation looks like as a SWF file but I want to test it from a specific frame. My reason for this is that normally if I go to Test movie, I have to watch my entire animation from the start when really, I might want to test it only to see if a certain part works. And I do realize there is the "play" option in the timeline using Enter but that doesn't have the same effect as Test movie.
Is there any way of testing a movie from a specific frame?

I'm trying to get a JSON response from an API into Flash using a PHP proxy (and decoding in as3 using as3corelib), and I can't figure out how to test this.
If I run an html/js file that is using the proxy to get the same data, it works, so I know that there aren't errors in my php file.
If I use my as3 to directly call and parse data from a different API (not using a proxy), I can get the data ok.
But if I run my swf trying to connect to the proxy file and get results, nothing happens. I'm not really sure how to trace what's going wrong. I assume I have to test the swf on the server? Or does just the php file need to be on the server and I can test the swf locally (this would be WAY easier)?
Here's my code:
Code:
package com {
import flash.events.*;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.display.Sprite;

I can not get to any MC in _level0 (main swf) from an external swfs.Which you know, should be easy, something like _root.MenuMC._visible = false; should work
and it does, sort of.It works when I test my movie within flash (ctrl+enter or F12), but it does not workwhen I test in on the browser.tried many different ways to do it, like:
MenuMC
_root.MenuMC
_level0.MenuMC

Intermittently when I go to test a movie, Flash CS5 will crash. I usually get two this-program-is-messed-up boxes about the crash from windows before the program shuts down completely. If I try to open my .fla after this point, Flash tells me that it is an unexpected file format and refuses to load it. These are often projects I have been working on for several hours, and since it corrupts the .fla - all my work is wasted.
Details:
Flash CS5 from the Adobe Web Premium CS5 suite
Windows 7 64bit
.fla is on a network drive

I add everything dynamically via actionscript.In the Flash authoring environment, when I test the movie, sometimes all of the movieclips on stage disappear and all I see is the color of the Stage.The strange thing is that I can still rollover/rollout (I added trace statements to my rollover/rollout handlers).
I'm also tracing out the 'visible' and the 'alpha' property and visible=true and alpha=1.0 !On thing that I am seeing is sometimes the rollover/rollout methods get called multiple times in quick succession. I.e. the method invocation order is rollover, rollout, rollover or rollout, rollover, rollout.
The actions that I have in my rollover and rollout methods are really simple. All they do is turn on/off other movieclips...imagine a map...when you rollover an icon, a path shows up on the map and when your rolloff, the path goes away.
However, if I adjust the window of the test movie window, everything appears again!The crazy thing is that when I publish it, this behavior doesn't happen in the browser or as an app! Could it be a memory thing with the authoring environment?
Posting some code here:
private function rollOverUserListener ( e:MouseEvent ) {
trace(">>>>>>>> rollOverUserListener() e.currentTarget.name : " + e.currentTarget.name);
trace("e.currentTarget.alpha: " + e.currentTarget.alpha);
trace("e.currentTarget.visible: " + e.currentTarget.visible);

Has any one experienced a crash when using "test movie" in Flash CS4 on Windows 7?For me, it started when I began working on an Actionscript 2.0 project. It happens every time I test a movie, then minimize the window.I have tried re-installing Flash, but the problem still remains. The weird thing is, it waits until I minimize the window. No other time.
Test movie --> Close it --> Minimize Flash --> Wait a second or two --> Crash

how I export the thing (as an image, or a movie, and in any format) I can't see the text. This is especially frustrating because text forms the entire basis of my animation.Tried converting text to movie clips, no difference. The weird part is, I was able to test the thing early on with no problem-- text displayed and everything. I should add: I have used MULTIPLE fonts... and I think this was about when things started not working.I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to fix this, it would make a big difference to my life.

Simply put, I am making a flash midi player. I am using ENTER_FRAME for my timings. I set the framerate to 100 to ensure that the timing of each note in milliseconds is accurate. When I test the movie with CTRL + ENTER it works fine. When I publish it and open it in a browser (tested both IE and Chrome), it suddenly plays back a lot slower. I don't think it's a performance issue, since the code is very simple. If this slowdown is consistent then I can perhaps work with it so that the playback speed will be correct. Do browsers make the framerate slower or do they implement a framerate cap of some sort? What is going on?
